Fragrance story: Discreet and subtle bergamot illuminates the fragrance's floral heart, which blends rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar's amber note unfolds, deeper than ever. Used in abundance, vanilla infuses the scent with new facets that are smooth and woody with a hint of leather. Enveloped in the comfort of musks, Shalimar's inimitable trail reaches its peak in this captivating contemporary variation. Guerlain has reinterpreted the logo of its iconic bottle for Shalimar L'Essence, nodding to the Art Deco movement.
